I'm planning a trip around Thanksgiving to The Coral Conoa Hotel, in La Romana. I've never been there before and I thought maybe some of you DR experts would help me. I did spend 11 days @ The Capella Beach Resort In Juan Dolio last summer and I have to say I came back with mixed feelings. First of all most of the staff does not speak English. Not even room service. It was very difficult to order even an ice-cream. That saved me some money because it became clear to my children that ordering room service was too much of a bother for them .Trying to get an extra towels was also problematic, (not bilingual). The staff @ the front desk did speak English.I still had a moderately good time, inspite of the fact that there was almost no Dominican food served. I mean they had of course the tropical drinks and so forth but not once during that week did I see a plantain or any beans... unheard of but true. The main reason I would never go back is because on the day of our departure home, I saw a mouse scamper across the floor in the dining room wher the main buffet table was situated.... that was the end of my appetite.
